"Is true love worth the risk?"

Romance
In the first book in the vastly popular Sullivans
series by
Bella Andre, readers are introduced to Chase Sullivan, a
successful photographer and all around good guy. When he
finds a car at the side of the road in the middle of a
storm, Chase goes to investigate to make sure no one is
hurt. There he finds Chloe Peterson who is soaked to the
bone and in dire need of some assistance. Though hesitant
at first, Chloe comes to trust Chase enough that she allows
him to take her to his brother's vineyard where he is
staying for the night.
Chloe's heart is shielded like a prison. Events in the past
have made her that way and she has good reason, especially
when the bruises on her face tell others of what she has
survived. Opening up her heart to Chase is only half the
battle, but she is beginning to realize that love just
might be worth the risk!
THE LOOK OF LOVE is a fantastically written love story that
deals with recovery and learning to trust again. The
romance between Chase and Chloe blooms at a believable pace
and despite Chloe's initial resistance, readers will also
fall in love with Chase alongside Chloe as she makes that
jump.
In addition to the potent romance, there is quite a lot of
steam and it made my palms sweat a few times while reading
this! Andre sure knows how to create chemistry and sizzling
sexual tension!
However, the best thing about this book is really the
familial aspect of this entire series. In this new edition,
there is more time spent on getting to know the Sullivan
family as a whole and also as individuals. This will no
doubt hook readers in as they learn more about each of the
endearing characters. There is no question that Bella Andre is one of the premier
authors of Contemporary Romance. THE LOOK OF LOVE is only
the first of the well-written, charming, and searingly sexy
stories in the Sullivan series. As a top favorite of mine,
there is no question that Bella Andre is a must-read.
SUMMARY
Chloe Peterson has vowed never to make the mistake of
trusting a man again. Her reasons are as vivid as the
bruises on her cheek. So when her car skids off a wet
country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced the
gorgeous guy who rescues her must be too good to be true. As a successful international photographer, Chase Sullivan
has his pick of beautiful women. He's satisfied with his
life—until he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of
the road in Napa Valley. With every loving look—and every sinfully sweet caress—the
attraction between them sizzles, and Chloe can't help but
wonder if she's met the man who may be the exception to her
rule….
